    "content": "With regard to a figure of Kshs700 million, the Committee was concerned that the Cabinet Office for the immediate retired President had proposed this figure. Whereas the allocation of an office of the retired President is in order, a major concern for the Committee is whether all other suitable viable and affordable options had been considered. My Committee was of the view that the matter was not a subject of the Supplementary Estimates. Indeed, ordinarily, Supplementary Estimates are supposed to cater for unforeseen expenditures in accordance with Article 223(1)(a) of the Constitution. Moreover, the Committee was concerned that a wrong decision made at this point could easily set a wrong and very costly precedent. That being the case, after intensive consultations, the Budget and Appropriations Committee resolved and wishes to recommend that an amount of Kshs700 million, proposed for purchase of an office for the immediate retired President be reviewed and deferred for consideration for the Financial Year 2013/2014."
